SF 5126 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Child care licensing and reporting requirements provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's child care licensing rules to require that correction orders and fix-it tickets explicitly state whether the licensee self-reported the violation. It also mandates that publicly posted license orders on the department website include this self-reporting information. Additionally, the legislation establishes a "fix-it ticket" system for minor, quickly correctable issues and provides technical assistance for low-risk noncompliance, while ensuring these documents are written in plain language. These changes directly affect licensed child care centers and family child care providers in Minnesota. The new requirements will take effect on January 15, 2027.
